Our group chose to do London, England for the Summer 2036 Olympics. I only need the ““Manager” – The Vision” parts done.

OLYMPIC BID PROJECT

In this final group project, your team will create a bid document for an Olympic-like, international,
multisport event for the year of 2034 (Winter) or 2036 (Summer). Each group member plays a
certain role to create a bid document which highlights key aspects of the hosting city/event.

Part 1 (Team): City & Role Selection (due at 11:59 pm on Feb 18) – 2 points

Each group decide the following directions for the project:
• Select a hosting city and determine whether your group bids for a Summer or Winter event;
Each member on the team will select a role from the following list. Post city and role
decision to the designated discussion board (1 post from each team)
o “Manager” – The Vision
o “Director” – Sport & Game Venue
o “Assistant Director” – Support Facility & Resource
o “Coordinator” – Event Operation
o “Assistant Coordinator” – Event Finance

Part 2 (Individual): Bid Document (due at 11:59 pm on Apr 15) – 15 points
All sections will be combined, and the final bid document will be submitted electronically on Canvas
in Word format. Each student will be graded based on the section for which he/she is responsible.
However, if there is inconsistency in the format of the final document (color, margin, header/footer,
font type/size, page number, etc.), every member receives a maximum of two (2) point-deduction
from his/her individual score.

Content and Format Requirements
• 1-inch margin on each side, 12-point Times New Roman font (for body of text), title page,
page number, a reference list at the end.

Canvas Week 1 module)
• Single-spaced and at least 5 pages in length (excluding title page and reference list)
• Title page that lists the hosting city, year (2034 or 2036), the group number, the group
member names and the group member roles, and the course name/number and section
number (SPM 4104: Facility and Event Management)
• Use picture, table, or figure in the writing document if it facilitates your discussion
(must be smaller than ½ of the page)

The Vision (Manager)

What is it about your bid and your city that will inspire and motivate a generation of citizens,
athletes, and a global audience? Why is your city an ideal destination to stage a memorable event
which will be a shining example to future generations?

At a minimum, The Vision section should include/address the following:
• Brief history and characteristics of your city and its people
o Include general market information (e.g., size, population, demographics, etc.)
• List factors that make your location especially attractive relative to potential rivals and
explain how your city is an ideal business partner for the event organizer
o Highlight key strengths and competitive advantages over others
o You should also pre-empt any criticisms that might be leveled against your bid
• Explain how hosting the event would be beneficial for your city
o Potential economic/social impact and the legacy you expect to derive from the event
